The Interesting Characteristics of the trip to Salawin National Park :  

Salawin National Park :  Head Office
It is the center of administration of the Park, located at Ban Mae Salarb  about  5 km.  from  Amphur Mae Sariang .  It’s in the small valley and its general atmosphere is very fine.  At the back of the Park, there is the viewing point for the fantastic sunset  and is the suitable place for relaxation after such a long time travelling. It’s also the center point before going to other places in the Park  

Salawin National Park :  Ban Tha Ta  Fang Unit
The bank of the Salawin River is said to be the highlight of Salawin National Park . Whoever miss it are considered to be the ones who have not actually  been  here.  Ban Tha Ta Fang Unit  is by the Salawin River of which  the south  is Ban Mae Sam Leap and the north  is Ban Tha Ta Fang where there is a beautiful beach called “ Had Tan Kaew”    From this location of the Unit near Ban Ta Fang ,you can see the panoramic scenery of the Salawin River and the Burmese bank.   In the front of the Unit office is the Salawin River bend  where  a long line of beach about 100 m will be appeared during the dry season when the water is so little.  This is the suitable camping site for natural touching.  There is another viewing point at the top of the mountain to which  we have to spend nearly one hour climbing up the gradually steep way.  When arriving there, we can see the marvelous winding river-bends of the Salawin River.

Tha Ta Fang Community  
is the old Karen Commune.  The first pioneer, the elderly “ Jor Ou “  with his wife and one child arrived in  2485 BE .From that time up to the present,  the elderly “ Jor Ou “is still here with the long legend and history of the Salawin River.  If you come here , don’t forget to pay respect to him and listen to the story of the Salawin River.  This elder finished Secondary school level  ( M.3 ) and his son got the Bachelor degree. With the nearly 80 years of age, he is still  strong and able to do the chores.  Here, there is The Border Patrolman School whose teachers have taught the Thai-Karen children with endurance and dedication.  Don’t forget to stop by to boost their morale and if possible, giving them some tidbits as souvenir  is surely better.

The Gong Khong River 
flowing by the Karen village, is shallow enough to be walked or driven across.  Owing to its natural beauty on both sides and interesting Karen lifestyle , it is a must place for the travelers to stop by. About 17 km from this spot to the Head Office is the scenic path, passing small streams and Salawin Forest scenery, viewing spot for misty sea, sun setting and the lining of Mae Sariang city  can be seen below.

Ban Pho-Saw  -  Sao- Hin 
is the Karen village situated by a stream . It is the site for camping supervised by the Park ‘ s personnels.  The distance from the Head Office to Ban Pho-saw is about 60 km and about another  30 km farther to Ban Sao-Hin . The path is rather rough especially during the rainy season.  Only the 4 WD vehicles can be used.  Driving across the stream is such an experienced and enjoyable type of activity.

Tham Kaew Komol National Forest ( Amphur Mae La Noi )
Though Tham Kaew Komol is a small-sized cave , but its beauty is superb. Inside the whole cave, it is full of calcite ore which gives the splendid glittering light when exposed to the light. This cave has been developed to become a complete tourist attraction so that it is worth  visiting  and moreover there is a  natural hot spring in the neighborhood.
